Integrate with Errorception

Overview

What does the integration offer?

Jira Service Management has a Webhook integration with Errorception. Use the integration to send Errorception incidents to Jira Service Management API with detailed information. Jira Service Management acts as a dispatcher for Errorception alerts, determines the right people to notify based on on-call schedules– notifies via email, text messages (SMS), phone calls, and iOS & Android push notifications, and escalates alerts until the alert is acknowledged or closed.

How does the integration work?

When an alert is created in Errorception, an alert is also automatically created in Jira Service Management through the integration.

Set up the integration

Errorception is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:

Add an Errorception integration in Jira Service Management
Configure the integration in Errorception

Add Errorception integration

If you're using the Free or Standard plan in Jira Service Management, you can only add this integration from your team’s operations page. To access the feature through Settings (gear icon) > Products (under JIRA SETTINGS) > OPERATIONS, you need to be on Premium or Enterprise plan.

Adding an integration from your team’s operations page makes your team the owner of the integration. This means Jira Service Management only assigns the alerts received through this integration to your team.

To add an Errorception integration in Jira Service Management:

Go to your team’s operations page.
On the left navigation panel, select Integrations and then Add integration.
Run a search and select “Errorception”.
On the next screen, enter a name for the integration.
Optional: Select a team in Assignee team if you want a specific team to receive alerts from the integration.
Select Continue.
The integration is saved at this point.
Expand the Steps to configure the integration section and copy the Webhook URL.
You will use this URL while configuring the integration in Errorception later.
Select Turn on integration.
The rules you create for the integration will work only if you turn on the integration.

Configure the integration in Errorception

In Errorception, go to the project settings page.
Select Service Webhooks > WebHooks.
Paste the URL you copied while adding the integration in Jira Service Management into WebHook Url.
Be sure to select "active".
Select Save.

You can further define alert properties on the Errorception integration page in Jira Service Management.
